Details of Disappearance

Ilias is missing from Sacramento, California. He went to visit his non-custodial father, Murad Al-Kanouni, in Morocco and was supposed to return on September 26, 2009, but he never did. Al-Kanouni's date of birth is January 4, 1975, making him 39 years old in September 2009. He may spell his name "Mourad El-Kanoun." Photographs and additional information for him are unavailable.
